I have come across one dissertation on the subject of AA and women:
 
Lillian Mae Halberg, "Rhetorical Dimensions of Institutional Language: A
Case Study of Women Alcoholics."  University of Iowa, 1988
 
Also, the "new and revised edition" of the AA Big Book has several stories
by women (Alcoholics Anonymous:  The Story of How Many Thousands of Men and
Women Have Recovered from Alcoholism, 1955 ed.)
